Oct. 26--In 1962, in between "The Birds" and "Marnie," Alfred Hitchcock sat down for a series of interviews with his most ardent French fan, the critic and fellow filmmaker Francois Truffaut. For many of us, the book resulting from those talks ("Hitchcock/Truffaut") literally fell apart at the binding due to overuse: death by flipped pages. For obsessives as well as Hitchcock agnostics (whoever they are), director Kent Jones' irresistible love letter pays tribute to a great extended conversation exploring technique, life, art and bargains made and sometimes broken with the audience. Jones interviews David Fincher, Martin Scorsese, Wes Anderson and others for a corroborating adoration of the master.
